AccessManager contribution

[Michael Bletzinger]

Hello,
	I recently commented on JCR 153 that I have some time to contribute  
towards implementing node level access control.  I also noticed that  
JCR 350 seems to be part of the same issue.


I was wondering if someone could show me how I should get started  
with this.  Are there other documents other than RFC 3744 and of  
course JSR-170 that I should be looking at?  I realize that having  
unknown people volunteering is a chancy business. However the time  
available is short so I need to at least get enough understanding to  
determine whether this work is even possible.


Thanks
Michael Bletzinger

[jira] Commented: (JCR-153) Improved JAAS access control

Michael Bletzinger commented on JCR-153:


Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has done something with this lately.  The group I am 
working for is moving their application from jakarta-slide to jackrabbit.  
However they need WebDAV style access control support from the content 
repository.  It seems this JCR is addressing this need.  I found a thread here: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jackrabbit-dev/200607.mbox/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED] which discusses a possible implementation.  The thread references an 
earlier discussion that I do not have access to.

I have been given about two months to "move this issue forward".  Please let me 
know if there is any way I can contribute to get this feature implemented in 
Jackrabbit.  Suggestions pointing to other possible solutions would also be 
appreciated.

Thanks 
Michael Bletzinger
